German shepherd looking for quiet home with big yard after Texas rescue: Meet Dale
The Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons Inc. is looking for someone to take home one of their pups.
Dale is a 1-year-old German shepherd who was recently found as a stray in Texas.
The roughly 54-pound boy was rescued by the Rescue Paw Foundation and then transferred to ARF in East Hampton, New York, shortly after.

The German shepherd knows his basic commands, which may lead one to think he had a loving home prior to being found — and he can walk well on a leash.

Although Dale is loving and sweet and gets along well with other dogs, he’s not a fan of cats, the organization said.
Because of this, ARF recommends that Dale go to a home where no cats are currently living.

Since then, ARF has saved more than 30,000 cats and dogs through partnerships with rescues across the country.
